“…Biswas et al (2015) also reported similar results in a positive correlation was observed between the grain yield and the uptake of different nutrients. Boron has the favourable influence on the absorption of cations particularly calcium (Ca), to have retarding influence on the absorption of anions and to have an essential part in carbohydrate and N metabolism (Batey, 1971).This was also confirmed by Valmis and Ulrich (1971) who reported that with increasing B in the nutrient solution the concentrations of N, P and S linearly decreased in the leaves of sugar beet. Rehim (1937), the pioneer, found that the addition of B to the nutrient medium increased the intake of cations and retarded the anions in plants as compared to culture lacking B.…”

At present, inclusion of Boron (B) in fertilizer management practice most often determines the yield performance of crops. Methods of supply of B to plants demands more research to come to a conclusion. The effect of different methods of boron application on the nutrient concentration and uptake of wheat (Triticuma estivum L.cv. Shatabdi) was studied through a field experiment at Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU) farm, Mymensingh during rabi season of 2012-13. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with six treatments and three replications. The treatments were- (i) B–control (no addition of B), (ii) soil application @ 1.5 kg ha-1, (iii) seed priming @ 0.4% boric acid solution, (iv) foliar spray @ 0.4% boric acid solution at primodia stage (37DAS), (v) foliar spray @ 0.4% boric acid solution at booting stage (55 DAS),and (vi) foliar spray at primodia stage (37DAS) and booting stages (55 DAS). Boric acid was used as a source of boron. Seed priming was done by soaking wheat seeds into 0.1% boric acid solution for 10 hours and then seeds were dried before sowing. Foliar spray of B at primodia and booting stage of crop (T6) recorded the highest B concentration of grain (19.60 μg g-1) and the control (T1) treatment performed the lowest B concentration (6.75 μg g-1). Similarly, the foliar spray of B at primodia and booting stages of crop (T6) recorded the highest B uptake by both grain and straw that was statistically identical to foliar spray of B at booting stage of crop (T5) in both cases. In view of cost-return analysis, foliar spray of B at primodia and booting stage treatment required the highest input cost but obtained the highest gross return, while control B required the lowest input cost along with lowest gross returnBangladesh J.

“…Most of the existing leaf boron standard values for sugar beet are compilations and it is reported that under 35 mg/kg is considered deficient while 35–300 mg/kg dry weight (DW) is considered sufficient (Vlamis & Ulrich 1971; Gupta 1979; Bell 1997). Between these two categories plant performance is not clearly defined.…”

“…Sugar beet has a high requirement for B and it is often applied as soil or foliar applications (Stoker & Tolman 1941; Oertli & Roth 1969; Vlamis & Ulrich 1971). This application is used mainly to correct or control B deficiency in the vegetative parts.…”

Boron application affects seed yield and seed quality of sugar beets

SU MMARYSugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) is one of the most important sugar crops worldwide. Despite the fact that sugar beet crop has high requirements for boron (B), the effect of B applications on seed yield and on seed quality is not known. A 2-year field study was conducted to determine whether soil and foliar B applications during anthesis increase seed set, final seed yield and improve seed quality of sugar beets. Boron solutions were applied at four rates (0, 245, 490 and 735 mg/l of B) as foliar applications and at two rates (1 . 5 and 3 kg/ha of B) as soil applications to field plots exhibiting no vegetative symptoms of B deficiency. Foliar B application increased the concentration of B in vegetative and reproductive tissues much more than soil application. In addition, foliar B application increased the seed yield by an average of 10 % in the first year and by an average of 44 % in the second year. The mean seed weight was affected by B application as it was increased in both years. The proportion of larger seeds (>5 . 00 and 4 . 5-5 . 00 mm) increased with increasing application of B. Moreover, seed quality was affected and the proportion of abnormal seedlings was decreased with B application. However, seed vigour was not affected by B application. These data indicate that foliar B application can improve seed yield and seed quality of sugar beet grown for seed production. However, the physiological basis of this effect remains unknown.

“…This phenomenon has been called the Piper-Steenbjerg effect in the literature and represents situations in which the supply of a nutrient, previously in a situation of severe deficiency, stimulates plant growth at a rate higher than the uptake of the nutrient, leading to its dilution in the tissues [ 33 , 47 ]. As far as we know, for B the effect has only been described for sugar beet [ 48 ]. The result observed in this experiment may have the following explanation.…”

In the northeast of Portugal, like in many parts of the world, most soils are acidic, which may hamper crop productivity. This study presents the findings of a factorial experiment on olive (Olea europaea L.) involving three factors: (i) soil type [schist (Sch) and granite (Gra)]; (ii) cultivars [Cobrançosa (Cob) and Arbequina (Arb)]; and (iii) fertilizer treatments [liming (CaCO3) plus magnesium (Mg) (LMg), phosphorus (P) application (+P), boron (B) application (+B), all fertilizing materials combined (Con+), and an untreated control (Con-)]. Dry matter yield (DMY) did not show significant differences between cultivars, but plants grown in schist soil exhibited significantly higher biomass compared to those in granite soil. Among the treatments, +B and Con+ resulted in the highest DMY (50.8 and 47.2 g pot−1, respectively), followed by +P (34.3 g pot−1) and Con- (28.6 g pot−1). Treatment LMg yielded significantly lower values (15.6 g pot−1) than Con-. LMg raised the pH above 7 (7.36), leading to a severe B deficiency. Although Con+ also raised the pH above 7 (7.48), it ranked among the most productive treatments for providing B. Therefore, when applying lime to B-poor sandy soils, moderate rates are advised to avoid inducing a B deficiency. Additionally, it seems prudent to apply B after lime application.
